Actuator alternating indicator light

A switch actuator assembly comprising:

• a. a frame;
• b. an actuator pivotally coupled to the frame and moveable between a first position and a second position, the first and second positions alternately corresponding to ON and OFF states of an electrical load, the actuator including first and second ends, the first and second ends each having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• c. a single light source;
• d. a light pipe including:
• a body having a first light entry surface and a second light entry surface, the first and second light entry surfaces arranged at an angle with respect to one another, the angle being less than 180 degrees;
• a first leg having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end originating from the first light entry surface and extending towards the first surface of the actuator;
• a second leg having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end originating from the second light entry surface and extending towards the second surface of the actuator;
• and
• wherein when light is emitted from the single light source, a substantial portion of the light is directed by one of the first and second legs of the light pipe onto at least a portion of the inner surface of the respective first and second ends of the actuator and emits from at least a portion of the respective outer surface of the respective end of the actuator.

An electrical load control device comprising:

• a. an actuator assembly comprising:
• i. a frame;
• ii. an actuator pivotally coupled to the frame and moveable between a first position and a second position, the first and second positions alternately corresponding to ON and OFF states of an electrical load;
• iii. a light pipe arranged at least partially within the actuator, the light pipe including:
• a body having a first light entry surface and a second light entry surface, the first and second light entry surfaces arranged at an angle with respect to one another, the angle being less than 180 degrees;
• a first leg having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end originating from the first light entry surface and extending towards the first surface of the actuator;
• a second leg having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end originating from the second light entry surface and extending towards the second surface of the actuator;
• and
• b. a single light source configured to illuminate when the electrical load is in at least one of the ON and the OFF state, wherein when the actuator is in the first position, the single light source is optically aligned with one of the first and second light entry surfaces of the light pipe, and wherein when the actuator is in the second position, the single light source is optically aligned with the other of the first and second light entry surfaces of the light pipe.
